uncle of Anuinaldo and formerly an in
surgent colonel, lias been appointed gov

has pitied been euch n consistent friend
of the Fnited States that Aguinaldo
published an order degrading his illicit.
There were considerable protects
apaine-t Serapio's appointment, chiefly
from a delegation which represented the
inleri-stS' of the friars. The t'ouimiesion
announced that it had investigated the
allegations mado agnlnst Serapio and
found them untrue.
Captain Greenough, of the Forty-first
regiment, wan appointed treasurer, and
Lieutenant Wells, of the Tliirty-seecond
regiment was appointed supervisor. The
other ollicials appointed were natives.
All the appointments practically were
made ou General Grant's recommenda
tion?. Although by reputation Bulacan is not
the eatiett province to govern, all the
local leaders and most of the inhabitants
are now friendly to the United States.
1 The question of ttie selection of a capital
for the province was submitted to the
rote of the delegations. Maloloe, the

at the town elections held under military
ordere. The delegates enjoyed it im
mensely. Judge Taft, in admonishing
the delegates, said that fiinci they had
the reputation of being camesters, they
mufct abide by the result and show their
capability of abiding by the tufl'rage.

Valuable riyiiM PiiiiihI.
Bosto.v, Feb. 27. Rev. Dr. C. WinB
low, of this citv, vice-president of the
Egypt exploration fund, today an
nounced t ho discovery of a most valuable
trophy among the large number of
papyri recently received by Dr. Wins
low for distribution among several uni
versities, 29 of which went to the
University of Pennsylvania. It is the
oldest fragment of the gospels now in
this country. Dr. Winslow states that
the Jiapyrua contains a large part of the
first chapter of the go9pel of St. Matthew.
It was found at Oxyrhyrnchus, 140
miles south of Cairo, near the famous
"Logia" or "sayings of Jesus," nnd its
date is placed by some experts at 150
A. I)., and by the editors of the societies'
publications at fifty or sixty years later.
Th's papyrus of St. Matthew belongs
to the same class as the famous Sinalic
and Vatican codices, and of course is a
remarkable corroboration of those texts
and the present accepted version. On
an important doctrinal point it declares
in common the exact, language: "Jo
seph, thou son of David, fear not to take
unto thee Mary, thy wife, for that which
16 conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost."
Tins papyrus is the oldest fragment of
the gospels, or, indeed, of the New
Testament.

Too Early for Withdrawal.
New Yoisic, Feb. 27. Several of the
passengers on the steamer Havana,
which has just arrived from Havana,
express the opinion that Cuba is not in
a political condition to receive her in
dependence. Dr. W. 0. Phelps, of
Buffalo, said :
"Uncle Sam must stay in Cuba. Every
body with whom I conversed in Cuba
wants the United States to stay there.
It is only the rabble, or negroes, consist
ing of about :I0 per cent of the entire
population of Cuba, who yell for 'free
Cuba,' and these shiftless people are
merely 'fire-eaters.' If they got their
freedom some other nation would step
in and take the island from them for
debt. I must say that the general health
is remarkably good. The great trouble
in Cuba is that there is nothing fit to
eat."
Joseph Howard, the journalist, eaid
"If the United States tries to leave
Cuba next June, as is talked of, soldiers
will have to get back there pretty quick
to avert a state of anarchy which would
undoubtedly follow their withdrawal.
Capital is apprehensive. There is no
trade. All are waiting. Americans and
the capitalists want the retention of the
United States troops."

Seattle, Wash., Feb. 27. A coroner's
jury today, after investigating the cir
cumstances surrounding the death re
tnrne'd a verdict that Maggie Hunsucker,
a fallen woman, died from the effects of
strychnine administered to her by Arthur
Ford, secretary of the Washington Sani
tarium, for the cure oi the opium habit,
Burt Chapman, with whom the woman
lived, and Charlotte Morgan.
The testimony tended to show that the
Hunsucker woman was undergoing
treatment for the morphine habit under
the direction of Ford, who is not a phy
sician, assisted by Chapman and Mrs.
Morgan. Monday, Ford gave her a hypo
dermic injection, and she shortly after
wards died. Two physicians testified at
the inquest that an autopsy and analysis
oi tne stomacti reyeaieu mat oeatu was
caused by strychnine poisoning.
